I have downloaded XAMPP Linux 1.7 and extracted it to /opt with:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt
I try to start xampp: /opt/lampp/lampp start, but get the message;
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.

XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.

XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is already running.

XAMPP for Linux started.

Can anyboddy help me?

Hmm, if you already have another web server, ftp server, and mysql server running, why did you need XAMPP?

Thank you, but how can I find out where the servers are and delete them?

how can I find out where the servers are

e.g. with "ps".

and delete them?

Sorry, don't know anything about your specific Linux distribution.

I have manage to start xampp for Linux at last. Thank You!
I have another problem. I cant find mysql. It should be at; /opt/lampp/mysql ?
I find it at :/opt/lampp/var/mysql, but had no permission to open the directory.
How can I be a superuser to open it?

I cant find mysql.

You mean the command line client "mysql"? It's like other binaries in "/opt/lampp/bin".

Could you help me I have the same problem. How did you fix it? I've installed into on ubuntu 8.10. I normally use wamp and this is my first LAMPP installation. I am also getting exactly the same error messages as you did
